Thank you, Chairman Bingaman. I am honored to join the hearing today and am looking forward to working with you and the other Members of the Committee this Congress.
We should raise the ceiling on the loan guarantee program so we can get more nuclear power plants built.
I look forward to working with you and Senator Bayh and everybody to get this right.
I think that my first priority would be to invest, make sure that the economic stimulus package that the Congress enacts...
I would hope that as part of the stimulus package, again speaking personally, there is a focus on getting credit access ...
We don't have the luxury of picking one source of energy.
I look forward to having additional conversations with you, not only about a carbon tax, but about subsidies.
I think that there's a way the stimulus package can be used to nourish those companies at a time of great pain.
We should reward them for efficiency improvements in those buildings.
We should also extend the renewable tax credit for now.
We have to focus on this near term opportunity both in the stimulus package and in the TARP.
